caravan

The only clue that this ordinary-looking van gives to show it’s not just your average Transit is the chimney protruding from the roof.
这辆看起来十分寻常的厢式车从顶上伸出了一根烟囱,只有从这个线索你能看出,这绝非是一辆普通的交通工具。

This leads down to a wood burner and into the interior of the former window-glazing van, which a pair of university graduates have converted into a caravan.
这顶烟囱从曾经的厢式车顶窗向下连接着车里的一个木质烤炉。一对大学毕业生将这辆厢式车改造成了一辆房车。

Former Leeds Metropolitan University students Stuart Humphreys, 24, and Claire Bragg, 25, spent just over £6,000 and two years transforming their second-hand van into what will be their home while they travel around Europe.
利兹都会大学的两名毕业生,24岁的斯图尔特·汉弗莱斯和25岁的克莱尔·布拉格花了两年时间,耗资6千英镑,将他们的二手厢式车改造成了一个移动之家,他们乘坐它游遍了欧洲。

Ms Bragg said: ‘We really like the freedom of it, we can go wherever we like, do whatever we like, whenever we like.’
布拉格小姐说:“我们非常喜欢这种自由的感觉,我们可以想去哪儿就去哪儿、想做什么就做什么、想什么时候出发就什么时候出发。”
